As perhaps with some other HNers, I'm in specialized, technical line of work (robotics) and the SNR for most of content sources is absurdly low. There's just no way for me to put in a reasonable amount of curation effort for subject matters involving my field _at the degree of specialization I need it_ and get meaningful insights back.

Maybe later when my focus or responsibilities have changed, but that runs the risk of keeping a library of curated content that I can't validate at the time I capture it (_because I will have to validate that content later when it aligns with whatever-later-task-is-relevant_).

And this says nothing about the creativity that's sapped by the organizational inefficiency, the clumsy handoffs, the incomplete understanding of what is truly wanted and/or needed at the end of a creative endeavor, and all of the other things that are the sources of hundreds or thousands of cuts at your psyche.
